with Tom Izzo,Michigan State Head Basketball Coach;2000 NCAA National Champions, 3X National Coach of the Year

Use simple screening techniques and concepts to get your players open for shots they can make! Get detailed instruction and insight on play-oriented offense from one of the game's great teachers and most successful coaches, Tom Izzo.

Izzo details three series of plays: Chest Series, Horns Series and Thumb Down Series. Each series contains a variety of sets, pick & roll action and numerous scoring options to add firepower to your offense.

Run from a 2-3 set, the Chest Series is very effective in countering intense defensive pressure. Izzo delivers five different sets out of the Chest Series with various screens and back cuts to take on more talented teams and negate their athletic advantage.

Unitizing a 1-4 high set, the Horns Series allows for great spacing, backdoor cuts and numerous scoring options. Another great series to beat tough pressure defense.

The Thumb Down Series makes it easy to interchange positions based on your teams' abilities and match-ups you see week to week.

In addition, Izzo highlights:

Simple tricks for getting open off a screen that any player can do.

Two effective drills to teach the fundamentals of pin down and on-ball screens.

A play to take advantage of the big man who won't come out on the floor to defend.

Izzo also includes a baseline inbounds play, which provides multiple scoring opportunities, and two end-of-clock plays that are great to run if you find your team down and need a good shot late in the game.

It's all here. Drills to improve your screening, full offensive sets, and specialty plays; all presented by a coach with a .700+ winning percentage and a perennial power in college basketball. Install Tom Izzo's plays into your system today!

The description of the video is exactly what you get. Izzo starts out with a few "everyday" ball screen and pick and roll drills that flow well with his offense. He goes over three of his most common sets, and I mean it when I say you see all three in every single game he coaches. Michigan State runs them frequently. Three solid sets, explained well, simple to run and call, with their effectiveness demonstrated whenever you watch the Spartans play.
Solid purchase. Will be looking to buy more Izzo DVDs in the future.

Coach Izzo does a great job of explaining his sets with simplicity. The fact that the on court team picks up the sets and the movements so quickly demonstrates Coach Izzo's ability to communicate his thoughts and ideas to all. He not only walks you through the sets, but he explains when you would want to use specific ones. The ability to interchange the personnel is also another reason for a coach at any level to get this video.

Very good DVD. One thing I love about Izzo: this is not just "clinic talk". Watch them play. They run these sets all the time. And they execute better than anyone in the country.

If you do not mind running sets this is a great video. It provides a number of series and allows the coach to move around his personnel. Very easy to follow and very use sets to run. I look forward to adding some of these into my offense this upcoming year. Keeps the ball in the middle of the court and keeps everyone moving to open up floor space.

I have just about every Izzo video. This one has lived up to the others and is worth getting, especially if you run quick hitters through a 1-4 high set. Coach Izzo is very specific and goes through every scoring option.
